( . ) on the move...
swimming
-saturday: 3x10 lengths (750m total)
-monday: 5x10 lengths (1250m total)
-thursday: 3x15 lengths (1125m total)
running
-friday: 20min. road (approx 3.5km total)
-wednesday: 20min. track (4km total)
eating
-sunday: bbq dinner (1 smokie, 1 burger, numerous ribs/wings, misc. fruits & salad, 3 slices strawberry cheesecake)
-tuesday: dinner @ West (some weird funky appetizer, awesome beef tenderloin entree, and desserts)
post-training notes: right shoulder's sore, legs are dead...but stomache just keeps going n going, n going... =P
neway it's a gloomy, wet friday afternoon, but the work week's over! gonna meet up w/ Lorna n Peebs for some dessert later on tonight (mmm...more cake...), but only after some more ink. bring on the pain... >=]
*edit: a phrase people commonly use to express their annoyance at something/someone is that they "get under their skin". i find it interesting then, that it is the exact opposite for me; the fact that someone was not able to "get under my skin" today, that has me just a little pissed off. O_o go figure...

random bits... - Sunday, June 12 2005
1. *fact: work is disgusting
2. *observation: running doesn't seem to be as bad as it first was anymore. so i wussed out of signing up for the triathlon this past Victoria Day long-weekend, but i've made up my mind n here's the deal: if i can clock 5km in under 22min. (running) by July 1st...that seals my fate. gotta sign up for either the Vancouver Triathlon or the XTC Off-Road one. no excuses. (uyyy...O_o hope i don't regret this)
3. *thought: food drives me crazy, but music keeps me sane. therefore - i must be a very well-balanced individual...

Tat2 Show @ the Empire Landmark on Robson st. cool contests (best flash art, grey, full color, worst tat, etc.) international artists. prbbly the most HA's i've seen in one place at one time (all sober too). no pictures though, didn't see anyone else snapping shots except the reporters, so i wasn't gonna go n rock the boat. i usually wouldn't care, but this boat's an exception.
got hungry walkin' back up through downtown afterwards, had to get a whopper - which meant i needed some exercise after. so, b/c the sun was blazing (+30 degrees!) i headed down to kits. place was packed, swimming in that +125m pool was great, good practice for triathlon swims. exhausted.
what a waste - Friday, June 3 2005
it's pretty challenging starting work in a new environment, being a minority in ethnicity, gender, as well as age. you work hard to gain respect starting from the bottom up...and for the past month i believe i've been displaying the correct amount of willingness to learn/humility, combined with a strategic level of assertiveness to show my colleagues that i am every bit as capable and industrious (if not even more efficient) as they are. it felt great then when they began seeing me as an equal; a true co-worker and a completely capable, mature, individual in the workplace. they were seeing a lot of potential in me to do great things for the company...alas, all that changed when our supervisor brought donuts to the office today.
that image that i had worked so hard to impress upon them; the picture of nobility, level-headedness and sound judgement that was my reputation, was completely thrown out the window when they walked in that morning by my desk near the front door of the office...only to see a trail of spotted white powder on the carpet, leading up to my chair, where i sat, greedily shoving a jelly donut into my face, powdered-sugar all over my cheeks n nose...just lovely. great. i went from "model-employee", to "savage DNS (donut-sucking slob)". u blew it dude. that donut better have been worth it.
ooh...but it was...

one must be thankful for good friends around the globe. it is an honour and a blessing to know that there are those both near and far who are proud to call themselves comrades, and vice-versa. i received a token of friendship today from the other side of the country...nothing big or fancy, just a lil something that has brightened my day. thanks dudes. hey, after all...
